Petersen Stainless Rigging has been forging stainless steel shackles for over 100 years. As a manufacturer Petersen have full control of the entire shackle manufacturing process. It begins by sourcing the highest quality european stainless steel drawn bar stock. Drawn stainless bar is chosen because it gives the best and strongest grain structure. All Petersen Stainless lifting shackles are upset forged rather than drop forged to keep the grain flowing around the shackle head rather than splintering it. Keeping the long, as-drawn grain structure gives stainless steel shackles excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance and also results in the highest strength stainless steel lifting shackle in the market. All Petersen shackles are produced in this way.
